FEBRUARY 2016
INTRODUCTION<br />
CYNTHIA FLETCHER-DUSTIN<br />
GRAPHIC AND WEB DESIGNER, ART DIRECTOR, DIGITAL SPECIALIST<br />
February 2016<br />
Dear Employer,<br />
Thank you for taking the time to connect with me and learn how I can bring value to your company, team<br />
and department. I am currently doing Graphic/Web Design/Art Direction/Digital Printing for Hazelden<br />
Betty Ford Foundation for the past 8.5 years.<br />
My projects come from a wide variety of clients and vary from small to full out advertising campaigns.<br />
As you will see on my resume, I’ve worn a lot of different hats. Current and past design projects that I<br />
have worked on are corporate marketing pieces for B2B and C2C, ads, brochures, postcards, large and<br />
small format signage, website layouts, email marketing, mailers and more from concept to creation or as<br />
production artist. I thrive on the excitement of working with a marketing team, attending photo shoots,<br />
press checks, radio and TV campaigns or just laying out and creating the next design.<br />
PLANNING ~ VISUALIZING ~ CREATING ~ MANAGING ~ COMMUNICATING ~ SUCCESS<br />
With several years of experience in the marketing and communication fields, I would be an asset to your<br />
team. My background includes art direction, graphic/web creative design, brand marketing, web content<br />
management and advertising, production art/electronic and preflight/prepress. These skills include<br />
extensive experience in several web, graphic, programs such as Adobe Creative Suite, included Flash,<br />
Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop. Along with experience in web coding, multimedia, social media,<br />
email marketing and digital strategy.<br />
As you will see on my enclosed resume, I have been affiliated with a highly regarded design/advertising<br />
firm. My job duties included creating and implementing graphics that align with our clients branding<br />
and graphics standards, while delivering a consistent look and feel, that is usable in various print and<br />
electronic formats.<br />
Something my resume will not tell you is that I am hard working and have a fun, creative, quirky personality<br />
that works well with a team. Left to my own devices I can complete independent projects and tasks in a<br />
highly efficient manner within budget requirements. I pride myself on making the client happy!<br />
In addition my background includes a bachelor’s degree from Metro State U in Business, Art and Computers<br />
as well as a Web-Graphic Design degree from the Hennipen Technical College with a 3.9-4.0 average.<br />
I believe that I am particularly well qualified for art direction, web and graphic design, and/or digital strategy<br />
marketing. If do find a position that you feel I would be qualified for please contact me at 651-271-7597 or<br />
by email at cynthafletcherdustin@gmail.com.<br />
Thank you most sincerely for your time and consideration.<br />
Cordially,<br />
